Connected Observability Pipelines in the OpenTelemetry Collector

Explore the advanced capabilities of the OpenTelemetry Collector in this 27-minute conference talk by Dan Jaglowski from observIQ. Learn about the new feature that enables linking pipelines together, providing more sophisticated control and processing of observability signals. Discover how connectors, a new type of pipeline component, directly link pipelines to one another, allowing for data replication, routing between pipelines, and multi-signal logic implementation. Gain insights into reducing data volume, deriving summary metrics from logs or spans, and detecting anomalies. Get a concise introduction to the OpenTelemetry Collector and its pipeline framework before delving into how connectors extend the architecture. Broaden your understanding of pipelines and learn to implement multi-pipeline data flow strategies in this informative session presented at a CNCF event.
